We provide hot tub and spa removal in Austin. Yes, your hot tub time machine was awesome, but times have changed, and the spa no longer works. Now, you are faced with a breeding ground for mosquitos and an eye-sore.
Before you can get rid of a hot tub, you may need to have a plumber and an electrician stop by depending on your installation. For instance, it is important to disconnect the power before you remove a hot tub.
Steps for removing your hot tub or spa
- Ensure that the power to the spa is off
- Drain the hot tub
- If self-filling, make sure you have disconnected and turned off the water
- Plan your exit path carefully. Remember, the dynamics of your yard may have changed since you installed your hot tub. Measure and make sure the spa will fit through the fence gate.
- Once all your disconnections are completed, it is time to lift out the spa. You need leverage. Plan on using crowbars to gain leverage. Use proper lifting techniques.
- Look for critters around your spa as you begin to lift. Often spiders, snakes, and other animals create homes near. Be sure to wear gloves and take your time.
- Now that your hot tub is free it’s time to lift it out of its location. You may need to try to disassemble parts if possible, to get the weight off.
- Using your path, move the spa down your path and toward your vehicle.
- Often the simple way to move the spa is on its side. Roll slowly to maintain control.
- Be sure that your vehicle is wide enough to accept the spa!
- Be sure that your vehicle can hold the weight. Once you have the spa in your vehicle, observe the back of your truck and make sure that the body of the truck is not resting close to the tires.
- Mark the back of the spa for visibility if it sticks out past the end of your vehicle.
- You may want to call ahead to the recycling facility or disposal service to ensure that they will accept the spa. Be ready to pay and additional dump fee in some locations.
